What are symptoms of occipital neuralgia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occipital neuraliga: This is a specific cause of pain in the head (sometimes referenced as a headache or improperly as a "migraine") coming from an injured and/or inflamed nerve coming up from the upper neck to the back of the head (one on each side). It can sometimes go to just behind the ears but usually not past the top of the head.
